Yet I Am Confident: Trusting God’s Goodness Through Pain and Doubt
This morning, I am feeling frustrated. Two weeks plus three days after the steroid shots and my hands hurt worse than they did before. I am discouraged. The grey skies accurately mirror my feelings today. Although a small bird occasionally twittering in the background reflects the hope that buoys my spirit. Yesterday I volunteered at my church for close to four hours and have been experiencing terrible pain in my hands since. I was so grateful to have the time to serve as a v

Finding Hope in Christ: Overcoming Rejection, Betrayal, and Death
What a precious truth! Christ's resurrection is of infinite importance because it declares victory over the worst thing any of us can face. What is your worst thing? 💜 Rejection? Christ was rejected. “Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.” Matthew 8:34 💜 Betrayal? Jesus was betrayed. “So Judas came straight to Jesus. ‘Greetings, Rabbi!’ he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.” Matthew 26:49 💜 Estrangement? Jesus’ sibl

Truths from Pooh
The sweet truths in Winnie-the-Pooh have resonated with readers for almost a century. This morning, I am challenged by the reflections of the tiniest character in the series—Piglet. According recent polls taken by the American Psychological Association, 64% of Americans believe the COVID-19 pandemic has stolen major life moments they will never get back.

"Never to suffer would never to have been blessed." Edgar Allan Poe I've had a long affinity for Poe. Perhaps it's because he was raised in my hometown. Maybe it's because I was sickened by the horror of "The Tell-Tale Heart." Or I was drawn in by the eerie feelings evoked in 7th grade when I read "The Cask of Amontillado." Whatever the reason, I currently find my interest turning back to him, living close to Sullivan's Island, the setting for "The Gold Bug." Poe was no stran

Choosing Hope over Heartache
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Philippians 4:4-5 Hampton Park has quickly become one of my favorite places to frequent in Charleston. Just a short walk from work and I am surrounded by beauty that infuses my spirit with joy. With negativity and heartache dominating the headlines, as a follower of Christ, it's imperative to unplug. Only when I make an intenti

Lessons Learned in Loneliness
As I write this, it’s a dreary December 30th morning, 2021. I’m sitting on the floor in my closet, next to my dog, while the movers pack pieces of our lives into a truck. This is the 2nd time in 6 months that I have moved and the fourth time since 2020 when Nic and I got married. We’ve come to be on a first name basis with our movers and even consider them as friends of sorts. My heart is filled with excitement at the thought of moving to Charleston. It’s a quintessential Sou
